Genshin Impact Hu Tao Best Build


Little is known about Hu Tao, but most characters who talk about her have a negative impression of her. She is typically described as a cheeky prankster who always causes trouble, and Qiqi’s character stories say she has a very “punch-able face” due to Hu Tao’s insistence on burying the zombie.
